/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Good bread, good cheese, good wine.
I think it's bullshit that they are denying them the last meal in some places now because some guy ordered a lot and didn't eat it.
First of all, it's entirely possible that he genuinely lost his appetite when he sat down to eat it and realised what "last meal" really means.
Second, even a huge pile of food is like a hundred dollars. Absolutely nothing compared to all the other taxpayer expenses involved.

Thirdly, if they really are hurting that much from having to buy a condemned man a steak and a piece of pie they could ask the family to pay for it or, if he has any, use his own money. I've got some dosh in the bank. I'd expect to get a decent last meal for some of it if I got myself on death row.
